?4)。使他为教会作万有之首(弗1:22)。基督爱教会,为教会舍己。可以献给自己,作个荣耀的教会,毫无玷污、皱纹等类的病,乃是圣洁没有瑕疵的(弗5:25,27)。我的心必因耶和华夸耀(诗34:2)。我因耶和华大大欢喜,我的心靠 神快乐。因他以拯救为衣给我穿上,以公义为袍给我披上(赛61:10)。除你以外,在天上我有谁呢?除你以外,在地上我也没有所爱慕的。我的肉体和我的心肠衰残,但 神是我心里的力量,又是我的福分,直到永远(诗73:25,26)。我的心哪,你曾对耶和华说:你是我的主。耶和华是我的产业,是我杯中的分;我所得的,你为我持守。用绳量给我的地界,坐落在佳美之处;我的产业实在美好(诗16:2,5,6)。 Thou art my portion; O Lord。 All things are yours; 。。。 and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's。 — Our Saviour Jesus Christ 。。。 gave himself for us。 — God gave him to be the head over all things to the church。 — Christ loved the church; and gave himself for it; that he might present it to himself a glorious church; not having spot; or wrinkle; or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish。 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD。 — I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation; he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness。
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee。 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart; and my portion for ever。 — O my soul; thou hast said unto the LORD; Thou art my Lord。 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintamest my lot。 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea; I have a goodly heritage。 PSA。 119:57。 I Cor。 3:21;23。 …Tit。 2:13;14。 …Eph。 1:22。 …Eph。 5:25;27。 Psa。 34:2。 …Isa。 61:10。 Psa。 73:25;26。 …Psa。 16:2;5;6。

有一条路人以为正,至终成为死亡之路(箴14:12)。 心中自是的,便是愚昧人;凭智慧行事的,必蒙拯救(箴28:26)。你的话是我脚前的灯,是我路上的光(诗119:105)。论到人的行为,我藉着你嘴唇的言语自己谨守,不行强暴人的道路(诗17:4)。 你们中间若有先知或是作梦的起来,对你说:我们去随从你素来所不认识的别 神,侍奉他吧!你不可听那先知或是那作梦之人的话。因为这是耶和华你们的 神试验你们,要知道你们是尽心尽性爱耶和华你们的 神不是。你们要顺从耶和华你们的 神,敬畏他,谨守他的诫命,听从他的话,侍奉他,专靠他(申13:l…4)。我要教导你,指示你当行的路,我要定睛在你身上劝戒你(诗32:8)。 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death。 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool。 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet; and a light unto my path。 — Concerning the works of men; by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer。 If there arise among you a prophet; or a dreamer of dreams; saying; Let us go after other gods; which thou hast not known; and let us serve them; thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet: for the LORD your God proveth you; to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul。 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God; and fear him; and keep his mandments; and obey his voice; and ye shall serve him; and cleave unto him。 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine eye。 PROV。 14:12。 Psa。 28:26。 Psa。 119:105。 …Psa。 17:4。 Deut。 13:1…4。 Psa。 32:8。

我们没有一个人为自己活,也没有一个人为自己死(罗14:7)。
我们若活着,是为主而活;若死了,是为主而死。所以我们或活或死,总是主的人(罗14:8)。无论何人,不要求自己的益处,乃要求别人的益处(林前10:24)。你们是重价买来的,所以要在你们的身子上荣耀 神(林前6:20)。无论是生是死,总叫基督在我身上照常显大。因我活着就是基督,我死了就有益处。但我在肉身活着,若成就我工夫的果子,我就不知道该挑选什么。我正在两难之间,情愿离世与基督同在,因为这是好得无比的(腓1:20…23)。我因律法,就向律法死了,叫我
可以向 神活着。我已经与基督同钉十字架,现在活着的不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着;并且我如今在肉身活着,是因信 神的儿子而活,他是爱我,为我舍己(加2:19,20)。 None of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself。 Whether we live; we live unto the Lord; and whether we die; we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore; or die; we are the Lord's。 — Let no man seek his own: but every man another's wealth。 — Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body; and in your spirit; which are God's。 Christ shall be magnified in my body; whether it be by life; or by death。 For to me to live is Christ; and to die is gain。 But if I live in the flesh; this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not。 For I am in a strait betwixt two; having a desire to depart; and to be with Christ; which is far better。 I through the law am dead to the law; that I might live unto God。 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I; but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God; who loved me; and gave himself for me。 ROM。 14:7。 Rom。 14:8。 …I Cor。 10:24。 …I Cor。 6:20。 Phi。 1:20…23。 Gal。 2:19;20。

神赐给所罗门广大的心,如同海沙不可测量(王上4:29)。 看哪,在这里有一人比所罗门更大(太12:42)。和平的君(赛9:6)。为义人死,是少有的;为仁人死,或者有敢作的。惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死,神的爱就在此向我们显明了(罗5:7,8)。他本有 神的形象,不以自己与 神同等为强夺的,反倒虚己,取了奴仆的形象,成为人的样式。既有人的样子,就自己卑微,存心顺服,以至于死,且死在十字架上(腓2:6…8)。基督的爱是过于人所能测度的(弗3:19)。基督总为 神的能力, 神的智慧(林前1:24)。一切智慧知识,都在他里面藏着(西2:3)。基督那测不透的丰富(弗3:8)。 但你们得在基督耶稣里是本乎 神, 神又使他成为我们的智慧、公义、圣洁、救赎(林前1:30)。 God gave Solomon 。。。 largeness of heart; even as the sand that is on the sea shore。 Behold; a greater than Solomon is here。 — The Prince of Peace。
Scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die。 But God mendeth his love toward us; in that; while we were yet sinners; Christ died for us。 — Who; being in the form of God; thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation; and took upon him the form of a servant; and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man; he humbled himself; and became obedient unto death; even the death of the cross。 — The love of Christ passeth knowledge。 Christ the power of God; and the wisdom of God。 — In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge。 — The unsearchable riches of Christ。 — Of him are ye in Christ Jesus; who of God is made unto us wisdom; and righteousness; and sanctification; and redemption。 I KGS。 4:29。 Matt。 12:42。 …Isa。 9:6。 Rom。 5:7;8。 …Phi。 2:6…8。 …Eph。 3:19。 I Cor。 1:24。 …Col。 2:3。 …Eph。 3:8。 …I Cor。 1:33。

我以永远的爱爱你,因此我以慈爱吸引你(耶3l:3)。 主所爱的弟兄们哪,我们本该常为你们感谢 神,因为他从起初拣选了你们,叫你们因信真道,又被圣灵感动,成为圣洁,能以得救。 神藉我们所传的福音召你们到这地步,好得着我们主耶稣基督的荣光(帖后2:13,14)。 神救了我们,以圣召召我们,不是按我们的行为,乃是按他的旨意和恩典。这恩典是万古之先在基督耶稣里赐给我们的(提后1:9)。我未成形的体质,你的眼早已看见了。你所定的日子,我尚未度一日,你都写在你的册上了(诗139:16)。 神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的,不至灭亡,反得永生(约3:16)。不是我们爱神,乃是 神爱我们,差他的儿子为我们的罪作了挽回祭,这就是爱了(约壹4:10)。 I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee。 We are bound to give thanks alway to God for you; brethren beloved of the Lord; because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: whereunto he called you by our gospel; to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ。 — God 。。。 hath saved us; and called us with a holy calling; not according to our works; but according to his own purpose and grace; which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began。 — Thine eyes did see my substance; yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written; which in continuance were fashioned; when as yet there was none of them。 God so loved the world; that he gave his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him should not perish; but have everlasting life。 Herein is love; not that we loved God; but that he loved us; and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins。 JER。 31:3。 II Thes。 2:13;14。 …II Tim。 1:9。 …Psa。 139:16。 John 3:16。 I John 4:10。

我已造作,也必保抱(赛46:4)。 雅各啊,创造你的耶和华;以色列啊,造成你的那位,现在如此说:你不要害怕!因为我救赎了你。我曾提你的名召你,你是属我的。你从水中经过,我必与你同在;你趟过江河,水必不漫过你(赛43:1,2)。直到你们年老,我仍这样;直到你们发白,我仍怀搋(赛46:4)。又如鹰搅动巢窝,在雏鹰以上两翅扇展,接取雏鹰,背在两翼之上。这样,耶和华独自引导他(申32:11,12)。 在古时的日子常保抱他们、怀搋他们(赛63:9)。 耶稣基督昨日今日一直到永远,是一样的(来13:8)。 因为我深信无论是高处的,是低处的,是别的受造之物,都不能叫我们与 神的爱隔绝;这爱是在我们的主基督耶稣里的(罗8:38,39)。 妇人焉能忘记她吃奶的婴孩,不怜恤她所生的儿子?即或有忘记的,我却不忘记你(赛49:15)。 I have made; and I will bear。 Thus saith the LORD that created thee; O
